SHOT DEAD IN HIS SLEEP
Edwin Thomas Slain by His Fif-
teen-Year Old Step-Son.

From the Savannah News, goth.
The little two>story frame house
at the southeast corner of Houston
and President streets was the scene
of a murder yesterday that will
rival in horror any that has occur
ed for a long time. At 1:30 the
Sunday quiet that brooded over
the neigbOrhood was broken by
two pistol shots. Upon a bed'in
this house Edward f Thomas lay
dead. A hole in his right groin,
and little stream of blood trick.
ling from the wound, told the sto-
ry of how his life went out, but
no one knew then that the one
who fired the fatal shot was y il
liam Wingard, the dead mans 10
year old Step-son. The shooting
was the elimination of a long story
"a tale of family disputes and ola
wife>s cruel treatment.
THE FAMILY HISTORY.
About sixteen years ago Fannie
Taut married a man named VIM
gard, by whom she had two chill
dren. Four years ago Wingard
died, and a year later his widow
married Edward E. Thomas, in
Beaufort, S G. Soon after their
marriage they came to Savannah
and went to live with James A
Taut, the father of Mrs. Thomas,
They remained there until nine
weeks ago, but their life was by no

women who wear Dead Birds.

Notwithstanding all the earnest appeals
from humane societies, and in the face OF
weighty rules and resolutions from the
enthusiastic members of the anti-bird-kiu =
ing and bird-wearing clans, fashion lead
srs have relentlessly turned their backs
upon these philanthropists showing an
utter disregard of all the vehement pro-
tests and applications made by them
against the destruction Of the warblers of
the forest and glade and the winged in
habitants of ocean beach and far-away
islands of the sea. The slaughter of the
innocents has been carried on in a more
deadly, destructive manner than ever be-
fore, judging by the astonishing array Of
birds of every species, size and color which
crowd the showcases and windows of
millinery house. After all that has been
urged against this crime it would appear
that further arguments and efforts were
worse than vain. Appeals to those who
calmly take the lives Of the birds is clear
ly of no avail. It is money in their pock-
cts, and that settles the matter in that
direction. But if the women who array
themselves in these murdered effigies could
once behold the process by which their
plumaged adornings are obtained perhaps
the crusaders against bird killing might
gain a number of life members.

moving around for a little while will
soon make the needed change"

Wretches Engaged in Deforming Children
for Begging Purposes
The cuts de jdtte attract more atten-
ton from philanthropists and charita-
Bile people in Paris than the blind, the
paralytic or the manned. They drag
themselves along in little cars and
some of them make as much as ten
francs a day by their energetic solicita-
tons of the passers-by. There are
even what are called Tabrigues or man
ufactories of crippled mendicants, juss
as there are establishments for the
training of acrobats and tight-rOpe
dancers; and the miscreants who prac-
tice the calling of providing manned
beggars for the Paris market and max
ing capital out of them are more nu-
merOus than would be supposed. These
people pay fifty or sixty francs for an
inhrm child to its poor, avaricious or
unfeeling parents. They begin with it
at about ten years old, and tie its legs
underneath its body. The legs are then
bandaged with leather thongs, which,
after awhile, and when there is not
much danger Of gangrene, are squeezed
until the vitality of the neither limbs
flow into the body and the child is I'M
able any longer to walk. When this
/ contamination has been arrived at the
cul de jdtte is ready for work in Paris
or some other large city.
What the unfortunate creature suf-
fers at the hands of the inhuman mon
| sters who carry on this abominabls
traffic is worse than any thing that
could have befallen Smike or Oliver
/ Twist IN their darkest days. They are
fed on weak soup, and are obliged 10
ply their trades in the depth Of winter.

The TIRED WIFE.

All day the wife had been tOiling,
From an early hour in the morn,
And her hands and her feet were weary
With the burdens that she had borne;
But she said TO herself: The trouble
That weighs on my mind is this
That Tom never thinks TO give me
A comforting hug or kiss.
ssI'm willing TO DO my duty,
To use all my strength and skin
In making the home attractive,
In striving my place to fill;
But though the approval Of cOnscienc
Is sweet, am free TO say,
That II Tom would give me a hug and kiss,
'Twould take all the tired away"
Then she counted over and over
The years she had been Toms wife,
And thought Of tho joys and sorrows
She had known in her married life;
To be sure, there was money plenty,
And never a lack OF food,
But kiss now and then and a word OF praise
Would have done her world Of good.
Alb, many a one Is longing
For words that are never said;
And many q heart goes hungry
For something better than bread;
But Tom had an inspiration,
And when he went home that day
He petted his wife and kissed her
In the ld-time, lover-liSe way.
And she-such enigmas are women
Who had held herself up with pride,
At her husbands display of fondness
just hung on his neck and cried.
And he, by her grief, reminded
or troubles he might have shared,
Said: BLESS my heart What q fool I've been
And didn't suppose you Caredp'

Artesian wells.

The name artesian. as applied to
wells, came from one sunk in Artois,
France, and said to be die first of the
kind sunk with a full knowledge OF the
principles involved. Artesian wells are
possibly only in certain localities.
Where there are pervious strata lying
between impervious beds the water
will be imprisoned in percolating
through; lying upon the lowest, and
rising to some point in the highest,
where a pervious stratum brings it to
the surface, it escapes in the form of
springs, or if a shaft be sunk to the
lowest point the water of the whole
basin will press upwards for escape.
and will rise to a level, corresponding
to the greatest height to which the inn
prisoned strata reach. As soon as
geology took possession as a science, a
geological survey of a locality readily
discovered whether a supply Of water
was obtainable in this way ktLadel-
